A woman, who goes by the name @fashionably.divorced, has revealed online why she only dates men half her age – and it’s all to do with them ‘looking after themselves’
A sassy cougar sparked debate online after boasting about dating toyboys to make herself feel good while sticking to one golden rule to avoid a “power imbalance”.
The proud cougar, from Maryland, US, who dishes out advice on moving on from a failed marriage via her handle @fashionably.divorced, has been dishing the dirt on why some people stay in unhappy marriages. But now, she’s spilt that she’s buzzing in romances with younger lads.
In a viral clip which racked up over 3,000 likes, the 47-year-old vixen lays down why she’s all about the young bucks. She reckons blokes her own age just don’t look after themselves.

She said: “They don’t stay physically active. I do take care of myself. I do stay active. It’s basic principles of attraction. And then I’m not willing to compromise on the lifestyle that will keep me feeling and looking my best.”
This feisty minx also slammed older men for losing their “zest for life” they had in their younger days. “The men, my age that I encounter in my area are battle-scarred, and they’re not willing to make an effort to learn and heal from it,” she added.
“They don’t have a sense of humour. They don’t have a zest for life and intellectual curiosity. They’re a drag.”
But even though she’s got a thing for the younger gents, she’s strict about one thing to keep things on an even keel. She insists: “10 years younger, that’s my general cutoff for long-term consideration.
“10 years is a window where two people can be on a level playing field because they’ve had similar life experiences younger than that. It’s possible that they haven’t. And that’s not fair.
“It’s an uneven power dynamic, and quite frankly, for me, it’s just not interesting. Anything more than a 10-year age difference, I have done that but it’s for a fun time. Not a long time.”

The TikTok clip sparked a debate among users who shared their views in the comments section. One user chimed in: “Exactly, men in my age simply lost themself physically and mentally too.”
“In them, there’s no energy. I need to feel from my man. I’m 37, my partner is 25 and I can’t be happier.”
Another added: “Both are fine. Adults can fornicate with whomever they want,” while another agreed: “So true. You look great.” However, one user disagreed, writing: “I disagree totally!”
